This is the third time I have written an article about the game I made to celebrate my 10 years anniversary making jam games. And sadly no one have played the game, unless you count myself. So once again I hope, I even begs some of you to give the game a chance. It's not perfect, but I spent way to much time on it, and I want to share it with you because I love you - the game jam community.

The game is called "The Love Sheriff", and it's a total remake of the first jam game I have ever made. The game was made for Ludum Dare 32 and the theme for the jam was "Unconventional weapon". This new version is made after the classic compo rules, beside I give my self much more time to make it. So I have made all the music, visuals, voice over and programing. The game is made so it is a mix between the way the game was made then and the way I try to make games today.

I really hop some of you will give the game a chance here

Good luck and have fun

My game jam journey

This time let me also tell you a bit about my game jam journey, and this might explain why I want you to play my game.

Game jams has become a big part of my life. I have made more then 80 jam games. A bit over 20 of those games I have made for Ludum Dare. And even without knowing an exact number I guess I have played about 2500-4000 Ludum Dare games. And I have given a bit of feedback and ratings to most of them. And with all the jams I have taken part of I guess I have played at least 10,000 jam games. So yes this is a lot of games played and a lot games made. But I have only done this because I love making the games, and because I love playing your amazing, weird, funny and interesting games.

So I have made more then 80 jam games, and I have been the winner of zero of them. Okay a have a couple of second places, but those I have gotten for making something so weird that they thought it must be very innovative. But none of this matter because I have always tried to make the games I like, even if it's not something many other people would like.

I could here write a long list of the games I have made, and I could write a long article about them, but it's not very interesting. And by the way the most of them is not super great, but hopefully I learned something from making them. And the main part of the jams for me, is to try ideas and having fun making games. And some times I have made games I have liked, and I have also worked a bit more on some of them, but I have never made a super big commercial game.

But just as important as making games for the jams, I love playing the games. Okay when you have played 10,000 jam games, there are a lot of games that is very similar, but I still find games that do something fun and interesting. And playing jam games is super fun, and sometimes also a pretty weird experience. But I still love doing it, and I always tries to give my honest feedback.

So for me this my short summery of the first 10 years with game jamming. I still have fun doing it, so I believe I will make many more jam games.

And 'The Love Sheriff' is my way to show what I have learned from making all of those games, and from all the things I learned and been inspired by from all your jam games.
